Do they not? I missed that. Surely LA is Asia/pacific?
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Their country list (for address entry) neglects to include our¹ great western economy.
Bastards.
¹: I mean LA, not the US.

Question to UnAms anyone-not-living-in-Australia-and-who-saw-the-NonAussie-version: at the very, very, very end of Buffy, did she say, "Dawny, we're going to Disneyland.", or did the Buffster just smile after Dawn's question then they cut to credits?

The latter.

t edit D'oh! Just realised I phrased my original question incorrectly. I meant it for the US/UK/RestoftheWorld folks. Editing now. t /edit
Angus ... I know that's what we got but I'm wondering if that's what the rest of the world got as well. A comment on another site prompted this question.

Bummer. I was hoping Joss had written that ... as a nod to Buffy and Willow's conversation during "What's My Line Pt2".

It would have come across as cheesy, I think, jimi. It's what the Superbowl winners are supposed to say in the post-game interview.
At the very least, it would have broken the mood I took away.

It would have been utterly, utterly calamitous. It would have made a mockery of all 7 seasons of Buffy, even the bad ones. It's really impossible to exaggerate how shit it would have been.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Now if she'd said she was going to open an office supply warehouse with Giles in Vegas...
(No, actually I think the ending worked perfectly. But an office supply shoutout would've made me laugh.)
